Fourteen-year-old Jason Fernandes of Brockton, Massachusetts, was shot and killed in the early hours of New Year’s Day 2007 in Boston. The shooting happened at about 5:45 AM near Clarkson and Hamilton Streets in Dorchester; he was taken to Boston Medical Center and pronounced dead. He was an eighth-grade student at South Junior High School and Boston’s first homicide victim of 2007.

Two people with multiple gunshot wounds were found when Boston Police arrived; a second victim survived with non-life-threatening injuries. Investigators tied the shooting to a party at a Clarkson Street residence and said the incident was one of three attacks within a few blocks over about 20 minutes that left five people shot. The Medical Examiner ruled Fernandes’s death a homicide.

Detectives have described a lack of cooperation from potential witnesses and have urged anyone with information to come forward. Does anyone who was in Dorchester that morning or who attended that party have information that could help this investigation?
